Anyone got a Tiger Moth within walking distance?

What's the pitch of the rib-lacing? How wide is the rib tape?

Here's where I am at (OK, the rib tape width is barely discernible, but you can just make it out...

Taped ribs with Poly-Fiber light weight 2" pinked tape . It is expensive, but looks better than the cheaper medium weight tape I had bought first. And it matches the fabric exactly.

so i take it its 2 inchs or {Taped ribs with 3/8" tape.}

Well, it wasn't a Tiger, but the info was good - no, excellent. I also have a few other contacts who dropped lines and tips.

So now I can figure out that the chord is about 4' 3" i.e. 51" so I need 20 stitches.

I'm a bit "heavy" as it turns out. More in the next week or so - the paying job's call is (unfortunately) stronger.

Later...
